Has anyone had the experience of getting a new passport issued, having already been registered for online 90 day reporting on a Non O visa based retirement with their old passport number?
I will do my first report at immigration with my TM30 updated to the new passport number.
Just wondering if they update the online TM47 on the old account (passport number) so that it can be continued to be used.
Just got my visa approved email via London embassy, 9 months with Muay Thai at Fitfac Ekkamai
Submitted 3 months of bank statements with over 11k GBP, & driving license for proof of current address

- Asked for a cropped version of my photo & flight ticket from airline directly to Thailand - 28th March 4pm
- Asked for boarding pass and exit stamp of last leaving Thailand - 31st March 4.45pm (went through E-gates so didn't have exit stamp and explained this on the pdf I submitted with boarding pass)
Hey! I have a question about the DTV visa on medical grounds. Does it have to be a necessary procedure, or can it be a package like a full health screening?
Has anyone got approved through things like allergy testing or a full health screening?
Yesterday I went to our local immigration office to obtain a re-entry permit. I have a couple of trips planned so I asked him if I require to do a new digital TM6 as I return on the 2nd May. Basically my logic says no as I've been issued a permit. The IO was unable to answer the question.
If you do the softpower way lets say with muay thai, will they ask you for new course purchase once you fly back to thailand to get new stamp once your first 6 months are expired? How about the extension way at immigration?
I am planning to stay 6 months per year in thailand and fly back 6 months later
Just a quick question please - does the 6 months per year stay in Thailand start at the beginning of each year, ie January through December or is it in a any 12 months period ie from April through March?. Thank you in advance.
🏦 Bank Update: Just saw this when I walked into Krungsri to have them activate my mobile banking app on my new phone. As of February 9, 2024, they no longer open accounts for these types of visas:
1. Tourist
2. Free Visa
3. DTV
4. ED (except 4 years at a University and International School).
I'm so lucky my landlord helped me open an account years ago. 🙏💳📃
